Default Pivot Table Sum

Hi,

It's a little supprising that "all" the sums return 0. It suggests that the
entire range is text not numbers. If all the data are formulas in the data
area, then they all must be evaluating to text. You should be showing us
what the formula in the data area are. If all of the formulas in the data
area should be numbers but are text here is one way to clear the problem in
one fell swoop

1. Enter 1 in a blank cell
2. Copy that cell
3. Select the entire range of formulas and choose Edit, Paste Special,
Multiply.

All of your formulas will be retained but their results will all be numbers.

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

I have created a PivotTable using data in another spreadsheet. For some
reason when I try to sum the data in the Data Field, all the values turn to
zeros. But if I leave it as a count the information is correct. Is it
because the data in the original cells are formulas? Any help or
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
